Operation decapitation

After more than half an hour of fighting, the battle lines of the enemy and us gradually stabilized. For the hours remaining before dawn, the entire battlefield was unexpected, and not a single single gunshot rang out. Tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the enemy and us seized this favorable time to replenish the physical strength consumed by the long battle, waiting for the final battle

Finally, in the midst of everyone's anxious waiting, the dawn finally came. The battlefield, which lasted for several hours, slowly revealed his true face and appeared in everyone's eyes

Outside the north gate of Baishan County, the hill where the Supreme Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is located, is the highest high ground in the entire region

Liu Hua, who was standing at the lookout of the headquarters, raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the area in front of him without blinking, within a radius of more than ten kilometers. After several hours of fierce fighting at night, the battlefield was formed

"Commander, judging by the results of the battles counted by the various units. At the base station last night, we have eliminated more than 6,000 Japanese troops. At present, there are about 15,000 Japanese troops left in the Japanese army surrounded by us. In addition, in Baishan County, the Japanese army who was left to cover by Sato, an old devil, has almost 6,000 people, so all of them add up, 40,000 little devils, and we have eaten half of them" Returning to the command headquarters, looking at the battle report he had just received in his hand, Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu said excitedly

"Lao Yang, according to the news from the scouts at the city gate, the 6,000 people who were left in the county town by Sato, an old devil, as a cover, are almost all some technical troops with little combat effectiveness and all the light and serious wounded. So, I mean. Let's fight the main force outside first, as for the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the county, let's clean up slowly, what do you see" After hearing the results of the troops for a day and a night, Liu Hua also nodded with satisfaction and suggested.

After all, the more than 20,000 troops he led today are not independent divisions with strong combat effectiveness. It is the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which is not very strong in combat, and even nearly half of the troops, which are all kinds of anti-Japanese armed forces that have been hastily assembled. With such a chaotic force in his hands, he was able to achieve such results in a day and a night of battle in the face of the Kwantung Army's troops, which were many times stronger in combat effectiveness. Liu Hua's psychology can be said to be very satisfied

Seeing the relaxed face of the commander Liu Hua in front of him, and the face of the deputy commander Yang Jingyu also changed from a worried look at the beginning to a smile on his face now After glancing at the map in front of him, after the latest military deployment of the enemy and us, Yang Jingyu continued to speak

"Commander, six thousand technical units with low combat effectiveness, and thousands of light and serious wounded, we can completely ignore it. Don't forget, in Baishan County, we also left the strength of the entire three main regiments. In terms of numbers, we no longer have any disadvantage. What's more, we also have the advantage of artillery fire, so my opinion is that we might as well give the little devils in two places a two-pronged approach, and take down the two little devils together, so as not to waste our precious time."

"Okay, it seems that I'm really overjoyed, even the three main regiments left in the county have forgotten I agree with your suggestion, let's give the little devil a two-pronged approach, and strive to wipe out the remaining 20,000 Japanese troops before dark, fight a beautiful battle, and show the little devil the real strength of our anti-alliance" Liu Hua said with a proud face

The decision had been made, and the two of them no longer had any hesitation. At the same time, he raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the battlefield not far away. Begin to make new adjustments for the final offensive according to the specific deployment of enemy and enemy forces

"Commander, you see that on the Japanese army's position, more than 10,000 little devils, under the continuous compression of our army, have gathered on a position of less than dozens of square kilometers. On average, there are at least one or two little devils per square meter, since the density of little devils is so large, then we don't have to be polite, just greet them with cannonballs. I believe that if a cannonball goes down, it will definitely be able to kill and injure a large number of little devils" Looking at the dense soldiers on the little devil's position, Yang Jingyu beside him said with a smile while sighing

"Lao Yang, it seems that we are really heroes. I think so, first greet these little devils with cannonballs, and take the opportunity to take out the command headquarters of the little devils first, and give the little devils a decapitation operation. If nothing else, as long as we end their headquarters, it will be equivalent to defeating the last reliance in the hearts of the little devils, and when the time comes, the remaining Japanese troops will definitely lose their combat ability and become real lost dogs, and they will be chased and beaten by us" Liu Hua said confidently...,

"The method is good, but such a large area, coupled with dense little devils. If you want to find the division headquarters of the little devil, how easy is it" Yang Jingyu nodded thoughtfully. followed closely, but shook his head helplessly and said

"Don't worry, you see when I, Liu Hua, have fought a battle that I am not sure of. Just last night, when the defense line of the enemy and us had just been formed, I asked Captain Liu Xiaogang to send dozens of scouts, disguised as little devils, with a radio station, to touch their positions. If nothing else, news will come soon," Liu Hua replied confidently

A few minutes later, just as the two of them were surrounding the Japanese position at the foot of the mountain, pointing fingers and studying the attack plan of the troops. A rush of footsteps quickly reached the ears of the two people. Immediately after, a communications staff officer, holding a telegram, stood behind the two men

"Report to the chief, Captain Liu of the advance detachment telegraphed, this is the specific location of the Japanese division headquarters"

"Lao Yang, it seems that we are talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will immediately hand over the specific location of the Japanese division headquarters to the artillery battalion commander. Tell him that the first round of salvo fire must destroy the entire Japanese division headquarters and eliminate all their commanders" Liu Hua nodded, and then ordered

Looking at the communications staff officer who left in a hurry, Yang Jingyu spoke again

"Commander, the little devil's division headquarters is finished. Now we are ready for everything, and we only owe the east wind. You see, is it launched now, the final general attack on the little devils in the encirclement"

"Okay, since you've said it all, Lao Yang. Now I order, in half an hour, all artillery units to carry out a saturated shelling of the Japanese positions outside the city for ten minutes. After the artillery bombardment is over, all the combat units will attack and launch a final general attack on the remaining Japanese troops, and completely annihilate all the Japanese troops" Liu Hua nodded, and then ordered

At this moment, in the bleak Japanese position, in the headquarters of the Japanese division, the division commander, Lieutenant General Sato, was standing at the gate of the headquarters surrounded by a group of commanders, observing the enemy situation around them

However, after ten minutes of observation. Lieutenant General Sato's face had no expression other than constant frowns and sighs

Just when Lieutenant General Sato, who looked depressed, was just about to turn around and return to the headquarters. The chief of staff of the division, with an anxious face, appeared in front of him with a piece of paper. Before Lieutenant General Sato could send a message, the chief of staff said impatiently.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the losses of the troops have been fully calculated: the 26th Infantry Wing, on which we had high hopes, now has less than eight hundred men left, after continuous fighting. More importantly, the ammunition that the troops carry with them is running out, and at the same time, there are less than 15,000 remaining troops of more than 20,000 troops. As for the ammunition in the hands of the soldiers, after continuous fighting, there were already less than ten rounds of ammunition left per person. Grenades and grenades for grenades, almost exhausted"

Silence, as the chief of staff's words fell, with Lieutenant General Sato as the center, a dozen or so senior officers, each of whom lowered their heads and fell into silence

A few minutes later, Lieutenant General Sato, who was still the commander of the division, broke the solemn atmosphere in the headquarters and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows better than me what our army is facing. If nothing else, after this battle is over, everyone standing here, including me, will report to Amaterasu. However, what I want to say is that even if you die on the battlefield, let the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side know that the dignity of the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire is sacrosanct. Therefore, in the next battle, I hope that you can lead your subordinates to kill and injure the living forces of the Eighth Route Army as much as possible, so that the Eighth Route Army will pay a heavy price for us that they can't imagine, and finally, as a samurai, die on the battlefield."

"Hai, please rest assured, Your Excellency the Division Commander," a kind of commander replied in unison

"Woo woo" However, just when the commanders were just about to leave. A sharp whistling of cannonballs quickly reached their ears. And just when these little devil commanders had not yet reacted from the shock, 36 dense shells had already flown above their heads, completely enveloping the location of the entire division headquarters..., "Baga, it's an artillery bombardment, quickly conceal the bombardment" Seeing the dense shells overhead, Lieutenant General Sato was the first to arrive, lying on the ground, and exclaimed loudly at the officers at all levels around him. However, just when Lieutenant General Sato's exclamation was not finished, a dense explosion sounded in the area where the division headquarters was located

Round after round of shells, constantly at the location of the headquarters of the Japanese division, there were explosions one after another, and finally, in the shocked eyes of everyone, a minute passed. The small command finally quieted down after being baptized by nearly 200 shells in a row. Mortar battalion that completed the shelling mission, 36 mortars. Under the command of the battalion commander, turn the muzzle of the gun and prepare to train all the other artillery positions together to shell other defensive positions of the Japanese army and destroy the Japanese defense line in front of the infantry

The sound of shell explosions ceased, and as the smoke of gunpowder that permeated the area around the headquarters, slowly dissipated, and the tents that had become ruins one after another. It was heavily protected, but at this moment, in the sound of violent shell explosions, the semi-underground division headquarters, which had also become a ruin, appeared in everyone's eyes

"Baga, Your Excellency the Division Commander's troops will attack immediately to rescue Your Excellency the Division Commander. In any case, you must rescue Your Excellency the division commander, otherwise, you will be dead," and in an instant, the Japanese troops who were located around the headquarters and were not affected by the shells immediately let out a burst of panicked exclamations. Immediately, hundreds of devil soldiers armed with weapons frantically rushed into the division headquarters that had been blown into ruins, preparing to rescue their division commander

"Baga, what happened in front, why did the troops stop and not act immediately, rescue His Excellency the Division Commander" followed closely behind the troops, and the commander of the 26th Infantry Wing, who was responsible for the security of the division headquarters. Looking at the soldiers who were at the front, they were all stunned at the door of the headquarters and did not move. couldn't help but look at the chief of staff beside him, and roared loudly, wanting to know the specific reason

"Report to Your Excellency the Wing Commander, Your Excellency the Division Commander has been shattered" Just when his words fell, the Chief of Staff didn't know how to answer. A Shaozuo captain ran over out of breath and exclaimed in panic at the co-captain in front of him

"Nani? What are you talking about, how can this be the case if the jade is broken, take me immediately" After a short period of shock, Chi Dusk Dazuo's whole person, like an angry lion, grabbed the collar of the captain in front of him with one hand, and roared loudly

"Hay, Your Excellency Wing Commander, these are true, Your Excellency the Division Commander was directly hit by a mortar shell. His corpse is at the gate of the headquarters" Captain Shaozuo replied with a flushed face

The "Baga" wing commander suddenly pushed away the Shaozuo captain in front of him, and hurriedly ran towards the door of the division headquarters with the chief of staff behind him who was also shocked

Seeing the arrival of the wing commander, the hundreds of soldiers gathered around the division headquarters consciously made way of a passage and walked into the innermost layer of the encirclement, and the tragic scene at the gate of the headquarters appeared in their eyes

At the entrance of the headquarters, the commander of the lieutenant general's division who carried the Venus on his shoulders was the center. More than a dozen officers wearing the ranks of Dazuo, Major General, and Zhongzuo fell around impressively, and these dozen officers, without exception, were all under the blow of flying shrapnel, and turned into a bloody corpse

Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, the wing captain Chi Du Dazuo stayed in place all of a sudden, unable to say a word. A pair of eyes, can only look at his subordinates stunned, cleaning up the bloody corpses. After that, they began to count the specific losses of the division headquarters in the shelling just now

Just when the captain of the wing, Chi Du Dazuo, had not yet reacted from the shock. Captain Shaozuo, who had just reported the situation, stood in front of him again, pulling himself back to reality from shock

"Report to Your Excellency Wing Commander, the losses of the division headquarters have been fully counted"

"Say," the Wing Captain replied coldly.

"Hai, according to statistics, in the shelling just now, the entire division and regiment headquarters was completely destroyed, and all 329 officers and soldiers below the division commander were killed, including the lieutenant general, the division commander, the major general's chief of staff, four major generals, brigade commanders, 5 large and large commanders, and two lieutenant commanders, At present, you have become the highest-ranking commander of the entire division," Glancing at the commander with a murderous face in front of him, Captain Shaozuo quickly replied. ..., "Baga, how could this be, all the senior officers of the division and regiment were so cunning to destroy the Eighth Route Army before the start of the battle, and they actually destroyed the command system of our army before the battle began. Eight Ge Yalu, immediately report all the situation here to the Kwantung Army Command, ask for tactical guidance, and all the situation around the division and regiment headquarters must be kept secret. Otherwise, the military law is engaged in "Wing Commander Chi Dusk Dazuo couldn't help but be furious, and ordered loudly

"Hay, Your Excellency Wing Commander"

Of course, all of this was the wishful thinking of the wing commander Chi Dui Dazuo, who had just been subjected to heavy artillery bombardment at the division and regimental headquarters, and almost everyone on the entire battlefield saw it

Immediately after that, the 26th Infantry Wing, which was responsible for the guard task of the division and regiment headquarters, immediately dispatched heavy troops to block the entire division and regiment headquarters Such a big move, anyone with a discerning eye can clearly know that something very important must have happened at the division and regiment headquarters. Perhaps in the shelling just now, the commander of his own division has been killed

Although, such rumors, one by one, soon spread throughout the entire position. However, before there was conclusive evidence, although the psychology of the soldiers was very fluctuating, there was no confusion, and they were still under the constraints of officers at all levels, sticking to their positions, but everything was temporary. Because everyone clearly knows that as long as there is definite news, these Japanese troops with floating military hearts will definitely fall into chaos again
